Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce has canceled the review of special taxes on paper shopping bags from Portugal for January 2024 through June 2025. This means no new fees or changes will happen for these bags during that time. Companies like Finieco and Novolex, who asked for the review, decided to drop it, so everything stays as it was.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Review Rescinded; No Rate Changes
The Department of Commerce has rescinded the antidumping administrative review for certain paper shopping bags from Portugal for the period January 3, 2024 through June 30, 2025. Because the parties that requested the review withdrew their requests, no cash deposit rates will change and the current cash deposit requirements remain in effect until further notice.
Duties Assessed at Deposit Rates
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess antidumping duties on appropriate entries of the subject merchandise at rates equal to the cash deposit rate required at the time of entry. Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the publication of this rescission notice (publication date June 11, 2026).
